Personality

Mathius is a quiet man, he holds the elderly in high regard as well as the clergy type (Priests, Paladins). His honesty and reverence for life is astonishing as he seemingly will not kill an animal to survive unless human-like lives are at stake.

History

Mathius was a son of two indentured servants. His father Kanaka and wife Haloi served as farmhands along the Northshire River. Although most indentured servants were allowed their freedom after a number of years, their subsequent owner taxed them heavily for the birth of their son. Some land owners who were not protected by Stormwind or gave into the outlandish tax set forth by the so called Lord Gregor Lescovar, either joined the Defias Brotherhood or had their homes burned.

In an incident at the Jaspier farm deep in the Northshire Valley, Renault Jaspier's buildings, home, and all his servants were burned alive in a fight that erupted. Mathius was sent to Goldshire earlier that day to sell some of the farmsteads grain. Upon his return, Mathius came across a man brutally beaten and near death. Mathius feeling this mans pain began to weep, and as his frustration became too great he felt a warmth come from his hands. With his hand's he touched the dying stranger, and in a miraculous turn the stranger seemed to slowly make a recovery. After a day in the wilderness of watching over the stranger, Mathius knew he had to make his return to the Jaspier farm. In the following morning, the stranger who he cared for had vanished some time earlier without him knowing.

Upon returning to the farm, Mathius was faced with the horrors that had happened in his absence. Already the farmstead was reduced to ash, the wallowing smoke blanketed the devastation that laid beneath. He was distraught at the loss of the home he had known, and of his families fate. Beside one pile of burning embers he picked up what seemed to be red mask of some kind, similar to the one wrapped around the neck of the man he had saved from a most certain death.

Mathius wept for many an hour, he gathered the charred remains of his fellow servants, kin, and even Renault Jaspier too, and laid them all to rest beneath the earth.

  • Updated through actual RP*

It was decidedly a good choice for Mathius to travel to Stormwind. For not only would he find just who these unjust men were, but also the meaning behind this new ability of his. After spending number of days fending for scraps of food and drink, Mathius met a Brother and follow of the light named Brother Derrick. Under Derrick's instruction, Mathius was correct in knowing of a great old Paladin who not only served during the great wars but started the Lambent Sovereignty. After seeking out their leader Highlord Lazarus Chandler and after careful consideration from the Highlord, Mathius was entered into the Lambent Sovereignty as a follower.

In the weeks to follow Mathius has come to be currently under the watchful eye of Lord Thaddaeus The Reader, and is dispatched currently in Darkshire.
